TAG FOR CLOTHING.

Application filed February 12, 1925. Serial No. 8,723.

I '0 all whom itmcy concern Be it known that HERMAN Lissnnma citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tags for Clothing, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in tags or tickets which may be readily and quickly attached to and dis connected from a button on a garment or othor article, without employing any other medium, the tag being of a self-locking character.

Another important object of the invention resides in the provision of a tag which will displace the present general method of sewing tags which show sizes, prices and other items, to such articles as clothing.

With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in the specification and claims.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application,-

Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention showing the tag attached to the button on a garment which is broken away;

Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of Fig. 1;

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the tag; and

Fi ure 4 is a perspective view of a roll of tags before being separated.

In describing the'invention I shall refer to the drawing, in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which the tag 1 has a circular opening 2 provided near the top thereof. From this circular opening 2, two diverging slits 3 are formed which run downwardly and outwardly and then curve inwardly as shown at 4.

The inwardly curved ends of the slits designated at 4 terminate at points designated at 5 in the drawing. These slits form an upwardly tapered tab or the like 6, which when slightly displaced outwardly allows the button 7 of a garment 8 to be inserted through the space between the slits 3. When the tag is drawn downwardly over the button thus inserted, the shank, designated in the drawing as 10, which is formed by the threads securing the button to the garment,

will enter the openii'ig 2 in the tag. The

button may then be tilted and the upper end of the tab 6 disposed under said button. The formation of the opening 2 and the intersection of the slits 3 therewith provides the upper end of the tab 6 obviously with an arcuate portion, designated in the drawing at 9. After the button has been tilted as described above so that the tab is disposed therebelow, this arcuate portion 9 is adapted to partially encircle the shank 10 and lock the tag in place on the garment. Thus the circular opening 2 with the portion thereof forming the curved end 9 of the tab forms substantially a self-locking means for the tag when the latter is applied to the garment as above described.

The curving of the slits inwardly, as shown by the numeral 4, obviously forms a safeguard to prevent the possibility of tearing the slits when the tab is displaced for the insertion of the button through the space formed by the slits 3.

In Figure 4; I have shown the tags 1 formed in strips, desired length and preferably of such length as to be formed into rolls. Such manufacture of the same has been found to be most economical and convenient in shipment, as well as in actual use. Further by providing the tags in strips, openings and slits may be formed in a large number of the same through a single operation, thus economiz ing in labor and expense in the manufacture thereof.

From the foregoing description of the construction of my improved device, it will be seen that I have provided a simple, inexpensive and efficient means for carrying out the objects of the invention, and while I have particularly described the elements best adapted to perform the functions set forth, it is obvious that various changes in form, proportion, and in the minor details of construction may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the rinciples of the invention.

I aving thus described my invention. what I claim is 1. A tag having an opening therein and provided with a pair of slits diverging downwardly from said opening to provide a tab, the lowerends of said slits being curved inwardly toward one another to prevent the tearing of said slits to the outside edges which strips may be of any when the tab is displaced from the body to receive the shank of a button in said openlng.

2. A tag having an opening therein and provided with a pair of slits diverging downwardly from said opening, said uslits being formed 3 1 straight lines for the greater portion of their length andhaying their lower ends curved inwardly toward one another to form decidedand short are portions thereon, whereby to prevent the tearing of said slits to the outside edge when the tab is displaced from the body 01. the tag.

3. As an article of manufacture, a tag "the lower ends thereof curved inwardly towardone-another lto'form decided and short are portions thereon the formation of said slits-providing substantially a heart-shaped tab therebetween and the arc portions on said slits tending to prevent tearing of the latter to the outside edges thereof when the tab is 'displaced with respect to the tag.

In testimony whereof I ,affixrrny signature.

HERMAN LISSNER.
